Catalog excerpts

Identification Systems Inspired by downsizing M-BOSS Compact allows stainless steel to be embossed in a way that is practicable for office use. Its innovative embossing system applies pressure from both above and below, making it much quieter than hammering and also saving considerable space. Measuring just 480 mm in width, M-BOSS Compact is not much larger than a desktop printer and can be deployed virtually anywhere. It offers just enough space to rest a laptop on it. The print speed is no less impressive, with the M-BOSS Compact (see page 520) can emboss one character per second in SS316 stainless...

Effect of surface energy on bonding properties Date of issue: 10/2017 The surface energy (also known as surface tension) is an important factor in the selection of the right adhesive. Because of their chemical formulation, all surfaces have their own polarity and surface tension. The cause of surface tensions is the tendency of liquids to reduce their surface as far as possible, thus to form drops. When a surface which is to be marked (substrate) is wetted with an adhesive, in addition to the adhesive formulation and the surface quality (material, roughness, dampness etc.) the surface energy...

Identification SystemsTechnical Information Instructions for using labels with protective laminate Labels with protective laminate (also known as cable laminators) have a white or coloured label field which can be written on either manually using a marker pen (see RiteOn and HELASIGN) or using a matrix, laser or thermal transfer printer (see Helatag). Depending on the design for the respective type of printing, the title block has a special surface finish to achieve the optimum print anchorage to the label substrate. This results in long-lasting, clear, sharp writing with text, graphics or barcode....

Identification Systems Technical Information Interesting facts about thermal transfer ﬁlms (colour ribbons) The thermal transfer ribbon is perhaps the most important consumable that is used in this printing system - using the right ribbon for a particular application is extremely important. Not every transfer ribbon is equally suited to any purpose. Depending on the printing requirements (e.g. smudge or scratchproof) to be met, what type of labels will be used, an appropriate thermal transfer ribbon must be used. Another important consideration for the thermal transfer ribbon is the electrostatic...

Identification SystemsTechnical Information What is RFID? Reader Application/ Database Coupling element (coil/antenna) Radio frequency identification, for short RFID, simply means the identification by radio waves. The data transfer is affected by means of electromagnetic waves. This technology allows a contactless storing and reading of data and makes a communication between devices possible. There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and perhaps other information, on a microchip that is attached to an antenna...
